Inflicting pain on poor or disadvantaged people is a Republican goal. It does not matter if it is immigrants, or children in Uvalde or their parents, or teachers. They don’t care if wounded children bleed out because police are cowards, valuing their own safety above the children, or if families do not have heat in their homes because of poor energy management. The important thing to Texas Republicans is that their corporate donors are protected and taken care of. By inflicting pain on the “others”, Texas Republicans show the rest of the world that they are in with the White Religious Nationalists. Yes! See how they value life! No abortions; a bounty on pregnant women who need abortions. They don’t really care about people, only the symbolism of caring about people. But, of course, only the “right” people.
